13th Mar 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Lightly raced 4yo who bids for a hat-trick after winning at Southwell (1m6f, Tapeta) and over C&D in January (first two clear); up another 7lb, but he remains open to further progress; major player. |

9st 1lb |
Low-mileage son of Golden Horn who got off the mark in 1m6f Southwell handicap 19 days ago, showing a good attitude to edge out De Vega's Warrior; meets that rival on 1lb worse terms now but this step up in trip will suit; big shout. |

9st 13lb |
His turn was looking near when runner-up in three handicaps during early 2024 but he's been out for a long time and returns after a wind operation; best to let the market guide. |

Lightly raced 4yo whose turn looks near, having finished a good second in a couple of 2m AW contests since handicapping; possibilities provided he's as effective on turf and back down in trip. |

Longstanding maiden under both codes but he was running well when crashing out two from home at Taunton 17 days ago (3m, good); enters the reckoning. |

10th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 198y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Didn't fire on latest outing but began handicap hurdle career with encouraging thirds at Southwell (2m4f, good to soft) and Fakenham (2m7f, good); 4lb lower now and Philip Armson claims 3lb today; could have a say. |
12/1 |

Fair stayer on the Flat (albeit a maiden); third in both handicap hurdles, more recently when upped to 2m7f at Fakenham (good) a fortnight ago, but needs to find something extra here; cheekpieces refitted. |

Versatile mare who is on a much-reduced mark but she hasn't won since 2022 and has offered very little in her last four races; passed over. |

22nd Sep 2025 Standard 2m 0f 120y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Stood little racing since the summer of 2022 and hard to gauge how much ability remains; handicap mark in freefall but there are reservations. |

28th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
Not the force of old and has come a long way down the weights sine joining this yard in 2022; not disgraced despite finishing last of four over C&D in July and his latest fifth of eight in an amateur riders' race here (1m6f, also good; first-time cheekpieces) was a wee bit better than it looks; essentially hard to get too excited about these days, though, and it could be a quiet ride home alongside three stablemates with more obvious prospects. |
22/1 |

6 (3) |
29th Jul 2025 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 6 |
10st 11lb |
Quite useful in his prime but very lightly raced since 2021; returned from his latest long layoff with a 22l defeat in 2m AW race in June and although he was beaten only 6l here (2m) five weeks later, that was a slowly run race and he was last of four; cheekpieces are enlisted. |

9st 6lb |
A fairly useful 2m4f hurdles winner but he has yet to match that form in four runs on the Flat, coming in a never-dangerous fifth on his handicap debut at Wolverhampton (2m) 17 days ago; he may still do better. |

18th Dec 2023 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 5 |

Experienced 8yo who is a ten-time hurdles winner; has raced in two C&D events since switched to Flat, finishing third then sixth; the balance of that form gives him something to find. |

Won off 5lb higher on Tapeta earlier this year and returned to form with a 3l third behind The Colorist at Lingfield four weeks ago; will need more again, though. |

Won on Polytrack as 2yo but three later wins on Tapeta, at 1m4f to 1m6f; hard to recommend at present as he's been a slow starter since his most recent win in March and was way back at Wolverhampton in August. |

23rd Apr 2025 Good 2m 7f 171y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
His last four outings have seen him runner-up twice and pulled up twice; that makes him 2-14 over hurdles, with the two wins early in 2023 before he went handicapping; no problems with trip or ground but he does not appear the most reliable proposition on this switch to chasing. |

Consistent gelding who ran up to his best when third in a Class 2 handicap over this trip at Newton Abbot in August (2m5f); unlikely to be far away. |

30th Aug 2025 Good 2m 5f 122y Class 2 |

Collected a good prize at Plumpton (2m4f, good) in April and has made the frame on all fourth subsequent appearances; can cope if the ground softens here and will probably be on the premises again. |
